While the first vid went to winner Billy Reid, this time around, Burkman Bros. gets the knock on the door as they open up their studio to reveal what they’ve been working on. As explained by the design siblings, much of their inspiration for the current collection revolves around the style of the backpackers and adventurers who visit Asia. They borrow bits and pieces from the simple Asian market goods, whether it be a crafted rug or a Bollywood poster.

Native Son – Fall 2010 Video Directed by Eric Ray Davidson
Kyle Fitzgibbons, who has moved on as Band of Otusiders designer to his now Native Son project, presents a video preview of the label’s Fall 2010 Collection. With its recent debut during this New York Fashion Week, the styles seen on the video are rendered in this carefully executed film format. We’re not too sure if 3-D glasses are needed for the full effect, but the vid is definitely worth the look. Suits, blazers, coats, in the collection are nicely form fitted with blacks and greys being predominant in the collection. Everything works well together given the eerie effect of the video that is set within a warehouse.

Percival – Autumn/Winter 2010 Video
Chris Gove, Luke Stenzhorn, and Olivia Hegarty are the minds behind new British label, Percival. For their Autumn/Winter 2010 collection, 16 garments were produced in a range that consists of Harris tweed, beeswax cotton from Scotland, chunky lambs wool, and heavyweight Melton from Yorkshire, and fine Portugese cotton melange. As you could already tell, Percival will be one of those labels with a knack for quality materials in their designs. According to Chris as told to the folks from Out With the In Crowd, “From a distance we wanted the collection looks like classic worker wear, but we tried to subvert that idea when you take a closer look and start noticing the polka dot, large plaid and pinstripe linings to various jackets and shirts. We had the idea that the linings would almost be secretive in a boyish and cheeky way – you could choose to show those elements if you roll up a sleeve or leave a jacket open. We are still so childish – always fighting, climbing stuff etc – but then we have to go to work and act serious. So the range was really trying to echo those ideologies.”
With its recent launch, Percival is set to move forward with their collection, and from the looks of the video, we’re sure that those who have been watching closely can’t wait to see everything come into fruition for the brand. Percival should go on sale around August/September. Stay tuned to Percival to know where items can be purchased when released.

Rugby – Spring 2010 Collection Video
Rugby recently released a few images of their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Now to go along with those images is this video presentation by RRL. To reflect the styles of the warmer weather, Rugby heads to the shore to put together looks appropriate for the beach, the boardwalk, and for biking. There’s a lot of great looks in the vid for both men and women, but we feel that the men’s styles are the central motivator of the video.
